I like technology, though I am not the type that has all the latest gadgets there is available, because it is too expensive. As much as I like to buy all those stuff, I just don't like buying things that depreciates so quickly. After a year, after spending a month's salary worth to buy the latest phone, it would just be a fraction of it's original worth.
I was even without a phone for three months until everyone insisted that I get one after the monsoon that flooded Manila.
However, two weeks ago, my sister told me of iPhones being on promo by my service provider. iPhone 5 is coming out, so I think they're trying to dispose as much of them as they could. So I went to the mall and got myself the 3GS model. It may be prehistoric as far as technocrat's are concerned but I got it practically free.
I wanted the iPhone because I have been using an iPod Touch Generation 2 for the past three years, and its usefulness still there. Except maybe the lack of functionality for newer apps, I am not complaining. Who needs a camera on my music player anyway? I got it almost solely for music, although being able to play Angry Birds many months before it became a crazy fad was amusing to me.
Now that I have a new phone, though I don't have Siri (who I don't need anyway), I am enjoying it. I have games, I have Internet everywhere I go, and it's more convenient for me to check on my online activities. Not as much as I want to or as much as most people do, but still more out there.
It's real fun. Maybe tomorrow, I'll post some stuff here.
